About Restaurant, Chinese, sweet and sour pork
Sweet and sour pork pairs deep-fried, batter-coated pork with a glossy red sauce balanced between sugar and vinegar, usually tossed with pineapple and bell peppers. It's one of the most recognizable dishes on a Chinese-American menu, and the combination of crisp fried pork and sweet glaze makes it a comfort-food classic.
It's also one of the richer choices, at about 260 calories per 100 grams. The frying pushes fat to roughly 14 grams per 100 grams, while the sauce contributes much of the 23 grams of carbohydrate — around 10 grams of it sugar. Protein lands near 9 grams, fiber is low at about 1 gram, sodium is around 304 milligrams, and cholesterol near 24 milligrams. Between the batter and the sweet sauce, this is a dish where the indulgent extras drive the numbers.
Because both the frying and the sugary glaze stack up, sweet and sour pork is best treated as an occasional pick rather than a light everyday meal. Sharing an order, choosing steamed rice, and rounding out the plate with plain vegetables or a stir-fry keeps the richness in proportion.
